How to Care for a Granddaddy Longlegs Spider

Granddaddy Longlegs Spiders will make homes near the tops of ceilings but sometimes in bathroom sinks and low areas in a shower.

If the Longlegs is in a good place such as ceiling corner, do nothing. If you acknowledge that you see the spider it may respond by moving all of its legs in the usually very sparse web it’s built, but will not move out of place.

No, you don’t feed the spider. Do nothing except leave it alone. If you are going to allow the spider to stay, let others in the home or building know so they won’t disturb it.

If you don’t won’t the spider around you don’t have to kill it, unless you are just one of those people who like killing things.

You can carefully nudge it onto a paper plate and take it outside. If the weather is really cold a warm spot would help but otherwise the spider may not survive.

If the spider is in a place you need to use, gently move it to a higher position near the ceiling.

Don’t engage the spider, just let it be. Sometimes you may see their offspring, dozens scattered within the web.

The Granddaddy Longlegs is beneficial against some insects. If the spider is in an area un-disturbing to you, you could let it be.

How to Put on Perfume or Cologne

There is almost nothing sadder than when someone spends $100.00 on a bottle of smell-good, only to ruin it by putting on too much. People around are robbed of the opportunity to appreciate your investment, to catch a slight, aromatic whiff of your bottled scent as you pass them in the supermarket or in a fancy restaurant, work, everywhere you go. And if you continue to take a bath in your perfume or cologne you have for all intents and purposes wasted your $100.00, because no one can appreciate the overwhelming scent you carry, and you would be better appreciated with no perfume or cologne on at all. Sometimes the scent of perfume or cologne is so overwhelming it immediately invades the nostrils of others, causing some to actually feel sick or get a headache. The best way to apply perfume or cologne to your body is not to directly apply it at all. To apply perfume or cologne place yourself in a room with high ceilings if possible. If not possible still use this p...

How to Create a Natural Privacy Fence by Growing Bamboo

Bamboo, one of the fastest growing plants in the world is misunderstood by many people when it comes to gardening. The main reason for this is because some people do not have enough knowledge about bamboo and the 1,000 species of the plant. You can successfully grow bamboo in your yard with only a little extra knowledge about the plant and caring for it. You can create a natural fence of bamboo along perimeters of your yard by doing the following: 1. Plant a version called "clumping." There are numerous clumping versions of bamboo. Just make sure you have purchased a clumping version because it forms a root ball, and the roots should not spread like evasive varieties of the plant. 2. Decide the approximate height you are seeking for your privacy fence. This is because you can control the height of the bamboo early on. If you wait too long, it may take lift equipment to reach the top of the bamboo. You can also control the depth of the bamboo on a regular basis, for example i...

How to Make Vanilla Bourbon Chicken

Photo: Herbscapes.com Yesterday a neighbor gave me a small jar of Madagascar Bourbon vanilla she has been curing for about six months. The vanilla beans stood in a brown liquid of vanilla and bourbon. For some reason I immediately thought of chicken. I will definitely infuse this liquid gold into some dessert creations, but I happened to have three chicken filets in the fridge ready to make their culinary debut. I rinsed the filets under cold water and placed in a plastic bag. It occurred to me that if I poured too much of the vanilla bourbon into the bag, it would be absorbed by the filets and overtake the flavor, knocking out the fresh German thyme I planned to top on the cooked meal. In plain English: it would be too strong. I carefully dripped about an eighth of a teaspoon into...
